Sydney Self-Contained Apartments

Locating Self-Contained Apartment Accommodation in Sydney

Self-contained accommodation in Sydney and self-contained apartments both refer to properties that are specifically designed for short-term stays but allow you to make yourself entirely at home. Although some self-catered apartments may feature maid service once a week or more often, most of the apartments provide you with all the comforts and conveniences of home so that you can prepare your own meals, entertain yourself and your guests and live by your own schedule. You will have a manager or landlord who will ensure your apartment remains in good running condition and that all your needs are adequately met, and many self-catered apartments also feature luxurious amenities, such as pools, gyms, balconies and courtyards.

Why Choose a Self-Contained Apartment in Sydney?

Many people prefer the comfort and convenience of self-catered apartments, as they are frequently called in Sydney, when they are travelling. Unlike hotels, self-catered apartments offer you the ability to enjoy your holiday or visit at your leisure. Being able to enjoy those early morning walks, lunches in your own place with your friends, coming and going at will and stretching out in a full-sized apartment as opposed to a cramped hotel room are all advantages of self-catered apartments. They are also quite affordable compared to similarly equipped hotel rooms. In fact, a self-catered apartment is often less expensive for long-term stays, which means if you are planning to be in Sydney for any length of time, this is definitely the best way to go cost-wise.

Another major benefit of self-contained apartments is one that is rarely appreciated until you actually live in one: the opportunity to mingle with those already living in the neighbourhood. If you are already from the area, you may not realize what a valuable opportunity this can be. For those of us who are travelling long distances or even from another country, this can be an incredible chance to discover new things. We can learn more about the culture in which we are living, make friends, discover new and exciting adventures and places to visit or even learn a new language. It can be an experience like no other.

Sydney is a haven for self-catered apartments and self-contained accommodation and has locations in Balmain, Camperdown, Chatswood, Darlinghurst, Glebe, Homebush Bay, Neutral Bay, Mosman, North Sydney, Paddington, Surry Hills, the CBD, Parramatta, Woolloomooloo, Sydney Olympic Park and many other suburbs and neighbourhoods in and around Sydney. Apartments can be found with one or more bedrooms so that you can travel on your own, with your family or with a group. Apart from bedrooms, each self-catered apartment also features fully equipped kitchens, bathroom facilities, spacious living areas and entertainment options that include plasma TVs, DVD players and similar options. You may be able to rent by the week or by the month depending on the specific facility, and you can consider it your home-away-from-home.

Locating the Right Accommodation for Your Needs

Locating the right self-catered apartment for your needs can be as easy as opening your favourite search engine and typing in "Sydney self catered apartments", "Sydney self contained accommodation", or "Sydney furnished apartments". Your search will bring up numerous options from which you can then choose based on apartment location, size and other features. Explore each site and compare the various properties. Look not just at prices but also at the pictures of the apartments and consider the locations and amenities offered. Some property owners only own one or two apartments while others own extensive properties and can provide far more services. Make your choices based on your needs and preferences, and read reviews to learn about others' experiences with the company you are considering. Contacting the owner or property manager ahead of time can also provide you with more information about the area and the apartment in which you are interested.

Self-catered and self-contained apartments are fun and roomy enough to accommodate your entire family and are generally quite child-friendly. Many of them even welcome pets, unlike most hotel rooms that may require pets to be boarded and can often feel crowded and boring to small children. A self-catered apartment can provide hours of entertainment and spacious comfort for even large groups or families and are carefully and thoughtfully decorated to increase your enjoyment during your Sydney getaway. Quiet residential areas ensure a more relaxing stay, and you can avoid those unwanted interruptions that always seem to come at the worst possible moments.

Self-catered apartments may not be the right choice for every traveller. If you are only planning on a short-term visit to Sydney, a hotel may be a more affordable option. If you are not interested in doing your own housekeeping or cooking, you may also not enjoy the do-it-yourself nature of self-catered apartments, which require at least some cleaning and cooking to ensure comfort.

Sydney's self-catered apartments offer you an affordable, exciting opportunity to enjoy privacy, freedom and life as a Sydneysider whether you are visiting this world-class city for school, work or fun. The people of Sydney are often warm and friendly, and the city is a vibrant centre for fashion, the arts, education and tourism. A self-contained apartment allows you to choose the location that best suits your needs whether you have your own vehicle or are relying on public transportation. Are you a tourist flying into Sydney? Choose an apartment near one of the city's plentiful beaches, in The Rocks, in lively Kings Cross or in busy Darlinghurst. Students and families may prefer the quieter suburbs of Glebe, Balmain or historic Paddington. Business travellers may prefer staying closer to work and focus their apartment-searches on Sydney's CBD or The Rocks district.

No matter where you stay, you will enjoy relaxing in your own apartment that features soft linens, Foxtel cable, stereo systems, Wi-Fi access, laundry facilities, dishwashers and other appliances and air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable no matter what the mercury reads outside. Off-street parking, gyms and pools are also available at some self-contained apartment accommodation so that you can stay safe, stay fit and enjoy your apartment even more fully.
